Brain games for teachers
Brain Games 28 is a free collection of brain games that runs in any browser: on school computers, Chromebooks, tablets and the interactive whiteboard. No sign-up, no install and no ads, so you can open a link and start playing with the class in a minute.
Why it works in class
Runs on any school computer
Just a browser: desktop, Chromebook or tablet. No install, no sign-up, no student accounts, and nothing for IT to approve.
Safe for kids
No ads, no chat, no user-generated content and no personal data collected. Children see the game and nothing else.
5–10 minute activities
Every game is short and has 7 difficulty levels: good for a lesson warm-up, a transition between activities or a learning station.
Projector and whiteboard friendly
Put a game on the projector and solve it together: the class suggests a move, and you or a child at the board makes it.
Works offline too
While online, tap "Get ready for a flight" once and the games are saved on the device. From then on they work even when the school network drops.
Accessible
Every game can be played with the keyboard alone and with a screen reader, built to WCAG 2.1 AA.
8 games for class, by skill
Short games that are easy to explain to a whole class. The ages are each game's recommendation, and every game can start at the easiest level.
